This year’s college football season thus far will be remembered by the number of blue chip athletes that did not don their jerseys with the rest of their team for the first one, maybe two, maybe four games of this 2010 season!!

There are 3 components to this whole thing to which the NCAA has to respond. (more…)

You’ll have to forgive Head Coach Les Miles if he’s been a big chippy this off-season. You see it seems lately that every time he takes a seat in his office chair that someone’s turned up the heating pad!! Some prognosticators say that this could be a make or break year for Miles. This team is incredibly talented but have seemed to underachieve the past couple of years. (more…)

This 2010 version of the Auburn Tigers should surprise some people – in a great way!! They will find success this year because they have 12 starters returning, the offense will be better after two years in the Malzahn program and the largest factor for success is that 8 of their 12 games will be played where Tiger flies – Jordan Hare!! (more…)

An elephant can be a very peaceful, docile animal. That is until they’re not! If you’ve never seen an enraged elephant then what you’ve missed is one of the most destructive, powerful animals on the planet. They can destroy whatever they choose, much like this 2010 version of the Alabama Crimson Tide!! (more…)

This year’s rendition of the Vanderbilt Commodores will be starting the 2010 campaign with a new head coach, all new starters on the offensive line, and 4 returning starters on the defense. Bobby Johnson abrubtly resigned in the off season leaving new head coach Robbie Caldwell to carry the torch. (more…)

When Lane Kiffen – the mouth not from the South – decided to hightail it over to LA to head “home” there were, within the next 48 hours, some videos placed on YouTube by the Vol-Nation that would make anyone’s mother blush. Enter Derek Dooley. He has the pedigree. He has the verbal accumen – he was/is a lawyer. But the question that remains unanswered is does he have the experience to succeed in the SEC. (more…)

The big news of today was that Kentucky received a commit from a 5-star stud out of Portland, Oregon. Of course this kid is 6’9″, plays with a round ball and on a wood court. UK has always been basketball first U but new HC Joker Phillips plans to even out that focus a bit with some head-turning hit you in the mouth football. (more…)

Next up in the SEC team shake down is the Florida Gators and of course the main question – Is there Life After Tebow? If you dare to say no, have you seen the Meyer recruits over the last 6 years?? They are what you call high cotton, and down south that means really good. (more…)

The first installment for the SEC team break downs will be the in-state team, the Georgia Bulldogs. Not sure anyone really knows how to project out what this years Dawgs team might do. Many of the “experts” have them rated anywhere from #3 in the country to #67 in the country (although I think the latter to be an Orlando reporter prank). (more…)

All right folks!! We are a mere 2 weeks away from the kick-off classic in Atlanta and that gives me just enough time to break down each SEC team for this new 2010 season. I am anticipating a down to the wire run with Florida and Georgia in the East with South Carolina nipping at their heels. (more…)
